It comes as no surprise to see the deep Scriptural ignorance in our world today. After all, many people have turned away from the solid foundation of truth found in Gods Word. Many people, even some who claim to be Christian, rarely even open a Bible, much less study one. But, when a man comes in the name of Jesus and goes on national radio and denies Jesus knowledge and teachings, it is a chilling thing to hear.

On Saturday afternoon, I heard a rerun segment of Sean Hannitys nationally syndicated radio show on which he had two guests taking opposites sides of the marriage issue. The man who was asserting that homosexuals should be allowed to marry was Reverend Oliver White of the Grace Community United Church of Christ in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. White recently lost his church building and most of his congregation because he chose to support the radical homosexual movements war to redefine marriage.

Audio of portions of the exchanges between Hannity, CNS News Terry Jeffrey and Mr. White are posted on Breitbarts Big Journalism website.

Mr. White made a boatload of outrageous statements, but one in particular stands out for its shocking claims about Jesus. After telling Mr. Jeffrey that he believes God endowed people of the same sex with the right to be married, Mr. Jeffrey then asked him if he disagrees with Jesus teachings about marriage being between a man and a woman, and Mr. White dropped this profoundly ignorant, blasphemous statement:

I dont disagree with Jesus Christ, but what I do say, that if Jesus were alive today, I think that he would be more inclined to say, You know, I didnt know it all. I believe that the Jesus who also said love your neighbor as yourself would not discriminate against a person on the basis of their sexual orientation.

As for whether or not Jesus would discriminate based on sexual orientation, is Mr. White unaware of the ultimate Day of Discrimination when Jesus will separate his sheep from Satans goats?

The fact is that God hates sin, and encouraging your neighbor in his sin is not loving him as yourself. God tells us to reprove the works of darkness, not give them a thumbs-up!

This man, Oliver White, is treading on very dangerous ground. He is declaring himself to be a teacher of Gods Word standing in the name of Jesus, but he is a devilish liar. As the Bible tells us in James 3, those who presume to be teachers will be held to a higher standard. Those who deceive and lead many astray, while posing as messengers of Christ, will receive greater condemnation.

I have no doubt that our nation is falling under the weight of its collective sins. America is reaping what it has sown, and false teachers like Mr. White are flourishing with their poisonous messages in this time of great apostasy and rampant Biblical illiteracy. Even though there is a gigantic amount of Scriptural ignorance out there, we should not leave such a glaring example as this one unchallenged. Its not as though Mr. White is just some run-of-the-mill commentator; he presents himself as a Christian minister. That makes his slanderous words against the Lord much more egregious.

With our Supreme Court one breath away from lawlessly, senselessly and impossibly redefining marriage to accommodate those who define themselves by their sexual sin, it is as important as ever to boldly speak the truth to such gruesome lies as those spoken by Reverend Oliver White.

<I dont disagree with Jesus Christ, but what I do say, that if Jesus were alive today, I think that he would be more inclined to say, You know, I didnt know it all. I believe that the Jesus who also said love your neighbor as yourself would not discriminate against a person on the basis of their sexual orientation.></i>

Sola scriptura. All discussion should stop right there. Divination. It’s not ignorance. It’s by design.

Just because someone holds a degree that states they are licensed to preach or be a pastor — doesn’t mean they should...much like the “first lady” holding - did did hold - a license to be a lawyer in Illinois -— she’s not giving legal advice anymore - and the advice she is pandering out should be taken with a ton of salt!

Can’t imagine standing in the final Judgement trying to rationalize the altering and promoting that which is against Gods original design of marriage. Very bad place to be. Why so many are unhinging their faith on this ridiculous gay marriage nonsense is astounding.

There’s nothing shocking here. Mainline Protestants, and plenty of Catholics, ceased to believe in the Incarnation a long time ago. They do not believe that the preaching of Jesus reveals the mind of God, because they do not believe that Jesus had a divine as well as a human mind.

He’s a universalist unitarian piece of trash. And he also lost his church! haha. Good. Let them all lose their churches, for they have defiled them. God’s word is God’s word. To deny God’s omniscience is like denying God himself.
